The Galaxy A6 and the Galaxy A6+ have already been spotted on
multiple benchmark and certification websites recently which is enough
circumstantial evidence to suggest that a launch is impending.
The two handsets have now made customary stop at the Federal
Communications Commission which is another big indication that they are going
to be launched in the not too distant future.
It remains to be seen, though, whether or not the Galaxy A6
and Galaxy A6+ will be released in North America. Many Samsung devices that are
not intended for this market tend to get certified by the FCC as well because
it’s for South America markets where many of Samsung’s affordable smartphones
are sold.
Previous reports have suggested that the Galaxy A6 will be
powered by an Exynos 7870 processor with 3GB of RAM while the Galaxy A6+ will
be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 635 chip with 4 GB RAM.
As one can expect from new mid-range handsets that Samsung
will release this year, the Galaxy A6 and the Galaxy A6+ will likely come with
Android 8.0 Oreo right of the box.
It’s unclear, though, just how much they will cost. Since,
they are meant to be mid-range devices one can expect them to be relatively
affordable.
